Jim,

Your explaination of why a wood stove is, as usual, was my explaination - plus, but much more eloquent. Thanks.

How do you compare the sidewinder with the conventional cone? I was just about convinced to buy a Ti-Tri with an inferno, now I am sure, as soon as I pay for my HugeCanine silent burner for my XGK-EX. I just have to decide on the conventional design or the sidewinder. I would expect the conventional design to be more efficient but not as easily carried. What say you? Anything I have missed?

Thanks again,

Jerry
